Back on the internet tomorrow. What a joke of a TV schedule. Bring back Bromley and JP Sports.

I signed up before the first game when I saw there were a few early season games for $11 I believe, then cancelled afterwards but still had the remainder of the month to watch the rest of the games. Basically, I will have paid $3 per game before my subscription expires. Not bad considering the product that is being put on the court!
And that’s if you don’t watch anything else that is on there (ESPN+/ SEC+)👍🏼
Agreed, but you won’t find the game tonight anyway.
It must be printed wrong somewhere since I've seen multiple people think it was 2nite.
It's not that easy for everyone. My dad for instance is 80 years old. So far he has managed but it isn't easy for him and it stresses him out something fierce. lol
80+ you get a pass. And even he figured it out right?
Yep, same here. They stopped the ability to watch for free on the TV ESPN app using my current TV provider. I can sit on my computer and watch for free, but not on the TV.
And then don't get me started on how bad the ESPN app on a TV is. Fast forwarding/rewinding is one of the worst designs I've ever seen. Can't see where I am in the progress, so I end up guessing on where to stop. My thoughts here are that they do this on purpose so I'm forced to watch some ads and not blow by all of them like I do on YouTubeTV.
Adapt nothing. BBN should not have to adapt. All games should be available as I want them. lol
I’m also older than dirt and figured it out for the first game which was on SEC+ . Complicated and designed to make people pay twice . Consumer scam.
However , the second game was on ESPN + and after forty five minutes of trying to get it to work I called my provider Direct TV. They swore there was no way to get it on Direct TV that “some games are free if you are are a subscriber . Some are not , “ asked to talk to a supervisor. He said the same thing .
So if the second game was free to people already paying for ESPN not even Direct TV could figure it out .
In my career I was at one time head of a national working group on consumer scams . This whole process is one . It basically makes it so difficult to get what you paid for that most people simply pay extra . Doesn’t really speak well of the SEC ADs who agreed to contracts like this knowing the intention of ESPN is to scam their fans .

My biggest complaint is that with the streaming I cannot control the volume. So whatever volume the TV is on when I start the stream- that's the volume the game plays on 
It's more of a joke that so many people haven't figured this out yet. We've had streaming only games for several years now. And there will continue to be more and more of them. At some point, traditional cable and satellite service will probably be gone and then they will all be streaming.
It's time for some people to sell their horse-drawn carriages, buy a car and learn how to stream games or just stop complaining about it.

How is he a bootlicker for pointing that out. LMFAO you must be fun at parties.
No it’s not a joke . It is consumer fraud. Pure and simple . In order to increase their bottom line ESPN aided and abetted by the SEC ADs concocted this scheme to make It complicated so as to convince a substantial number of people to pay twice for their product .
Laugh at old folks and computer illiterate folks all u want but that doesn’t take away from the intention of both ESPN and the SEC to cheat their customers to increase profits .
Well...once again if a person already has the ability to watch the games on ESPN/SEC Network (via cable/satellite/etc. subscription), then they can watch these SEC+ games for no additional expense. So I'm not sure how that is fraud exactly.
I will grant that ESPN makes it a bit confusing, but all someone has to do is look at the details of the game streams when they try to watch and select the one that says SEC+.
You're not paying twice...
You're certainly confidently incorrect though! I'll give you that!
true, but if customers are already paying for the SEC channel, why should they pay more?
The SEC+ & ESPN+ should be included from the tv provider.
As much as I would like to see the game, I won't pay more.
If these types of games went to UK's NIL, that would be a different story
Explain how these streaming games can be seen on SEC+>
If it is so simple, then maybe more folks would be doing it.
Older people that grew up on a farm or working on the assembly line would have no idea how this works.
You can't get ESPN+ or SEC+ games on YTTV. Only on the ESPN website on a computer when you select your TV provider as YTTV. But on a full TV you have to download the ESPN app and then pay for the subscription for the rest of November, then immediately cancel. As someone above said, for the month of Nov it breaks down to $3 per game, and you won't need it again for the rest of the season after November. I prefer watching the game on my TV than at my computer.
Another "trick" ESPN plays - you can't airplay from your phone/tablet/computer to the TV for some reason. Every time I've tried it's either blocked or extremely poor quality.
If you have a trick with finding SEC+ or ESPN+ on YouTubeTV, please let us know.
You're providing innacurate info. If someone pays for the SEC Network already then they can watch the SEC+ games for no additional cost on their TV using the ESPN app on the TV.
